Offers of "Free" Merchandise to Product Testers

It is not unusual for web surfers, particularly those searching for expensive consumer items, to come across ads promising them the items for free if they sign up as a "product tester". Usually the merchandise is quite valuable, including computers, cameras, video games, and MP3 players. But when people try to sign up as product testers, they usually find out that the company running the ad has something very different in mind - getting them to purchase goods and services, often at high prices.

Protecting Yourself

If you keep the following in mind, you will be in a better position to assess this type of "free" offer, and to protect yourself from unethical partner sites:

Companies Aren't Really Looking For Random Product Testers - While there are legitimate product and consumer research firms, some of whom do business online and some of whom in fact do give away test merchandise, they don't solicit random individuals with specific promises of valuable gifts. They obtain information about individual consumers, and offer them the opportunity to complete surveys, to engage in focus groups, or to test merchandise based upon the demographic they fit and the needs of their clients. Compensation can be quite good, but is typically far short of the windfalls offered in the ads - for example, for a $500 gift card, you could expect to spend ten to twenty hours participating in their surveys and studies. And the legitimate companies won't try to sell you products from their "partner" sites - if you see such offers, you can be sure up front that the goal is to sell you merchandise, not to have you test it.

"Free Samples" Offered By Partner Sites Come With Strings - It may seem to be relatively cheap and easy to register for a "free sample" item through a partner site, upon being told "you pay only for shipping". Sure, the shipping price is excessive, but what's $6 or $7 when you're going to become a "product tester" and get an expensive gift after you sign up for three or four offers, right? But you should expect that there is a very expensive subscription service associated with the "free sample", and if you don't read the terms of service carefully you can expect to be charged $50 or $100 before you even notice what is happening - with no opportunity for refund.

If The "Questionnaire" You Must Complete To Qualify As A Product Tester Consists of Product Pitches, It's Actually A Sales Pitch - If a company is legitimately interested in seeking product testers, it will be interested to know facts about you, your product preferences, your knowledge of competing products, your experience with similar products, or other relevant information about you and how you fit into their target demographic. If instead your test for qualification consists of nothing but product pitches, the site's interest is in selling you merchandise, not giving it to you.

Keep Your Eyes Open - If you have to sign up for products to complete the deal, the site's sponsors expect that you will ultimately pay them hundreds or thousands of dollars more than the value of the "free gift" you will supposedly receive. The only guarantees are that the "partner" sites will collect their fees, and the "product testing" company will collect its commissions. There is a substantial chance that you will either give up part way through the "survey", perhaps after signing up for some offers, or will simply be cheated by these companies such that you do not receive your gift. After all, that's far more profitable for them than keeping their promise to you - and what are you really going to do about it?

Answer 2

Even the smaller companies are more likely to be attempting to get more out of your or turning you into a customer by first offering a free trial. I suspect most testing involves face to face meetings at the company or their market research agents.
